Nobel Prize Winners in Science

List of All Nobel Prize Winners in Science Since 1901

Alfred Nobel said “If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied” and is said to have instigated the awards after reading an obituary of his life, while he was still alive, which read “The merchant of death is dead“. Keen to be remembered in a better light, he donated the bulk of his estate to setting up the awards. Nobel prize winners, for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine or Physiology have been awarded to scientists that make the most outstanding contributions to mankind since 1901. Nobel prizes are awarded yearly on 10th December, the anniversary of the founder’s death.
